When we built my '67 on a '69 frame we took everything off a '71 so it would have disc brakes in front and 5 lug bolt pattern.

No matter which way you do it make sure you use the master cylinder off the disc brake system.

We did have to elongate a few bolt holes when we put the '71 cradle on the '69 frame if I remember right.

When we moved the '71 rearend over to the '69 frame we took everything from the '71 including the track bar and trailing arms.

It is a pretty straight forward swap though.
